Visited with Woodburner, Ojay, Millhouse and Doc-p.
The shelter was mined out in 1938 by Stockport’s Air Raid Precautions Committe as Britain readied for WW2, they were chipped out of the sandstone in the area in order to provide shelter in the on going air raids.
The Shelters are huge to say the least, and could easily take a good half hour if you lost your bearings to get the hell out. Clips in the ceiling are still in place in areas for curtains to be put around the bunks as are the pipes which originally carried the electricity cables for lighting.
Not too many photos as when you've seen one tunnel in here, you've seen them all - but a good explore non the less. We easily spent a couple of hours in here.
